VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Don't Be Blind To The Light Or Deaf To The Message!

 

Since Light, Physical Or Spiritual, Is There ... Is Here

To Show Us The Safe Way To Walk

Why Would We Choose To Be Blind To The Light 

And 

Prefer To Walk In Darkness That Leads To Death!?! 

Since The Lord Jesus Has Given Us His Living, Holy Word 

As A Message Of Salvation With Its Attending Call To Repentance

Why Would We Choose To Ignore, Reject, Reinterpret

Or 

Refuse That Message Which Is Truth That Saves!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Jesus 

Is 

Our Only Savior And Our Only Healer

And 

The Onus, Duty, Responsibility ... Burden ... Is Upon Us 

To Choose To Accept The Unspeakable Gift That 

Is 

Laid Out Before Us From The Hand Of Him Who Is Our Provider! 

Dear Ones, 

When The Lord Of Life Says To Do "It" 

Do It! 

When The Lord Of Love Says "Go!" 

Get To Stepping! 

When The Lord Calls Your Name

He Is Personally Calling You So Answer! 

Our Salvation Is Free And Available 

And

Our Healing Is Free And Efficacious! 

The Lord Is Not Deceitful 

And 

Neither Should We Be 

When We Accept His Healing And His Salvation

Nor When We Offer Up Our Praises For His Bountiful Blessings! 

The Lord Jesus, The Truth

Is 

Our Light And Our Salvation

And 

Our Only Way Home To Our Father's Home On High! 

Please, Beloved, Accept And Act On The Message

And 

Walk In The Living Light That Leads To Everlasting Life

And

Joyfully Praise Almighty God 

From Whom All Of Our Blessings Continually Flow! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + "That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It!?!"

 

Beloved, 

Are You Amongst Those Who Love To Use That Catch-Phrase 

"That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It!" 

Until 

You Are Caught Dead To Rights 

Aka Found To Be A Liar By Plain Proof!?! 

Shouldn't We As Committed To Christ Christians Know That 

Unrepentant Liars Are Denizens Of The Dominion Of The Damned 

Who Will Not Be Permitted To Enter The Haven Of Rest!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let It Not Be Found Amongst Us That 

Our Default Position 

Is 

To Lie For Fun, Fame, Fortune, And Friends! 

Do Not Deceive Yourself Into Believing That 

Short-Term Advantage Is Best Acquired By The Lie 

Which Is The Language Of Satan! 

Also, Do Not Indulge That Devilish Preference 

To Be Comforted With A Lie 

Rather Than To Be Hurt By The Truth! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Think Long And Hard

And Long Again 

And 

Plead With The Lord For Help 

Before 

You Hot 'n Sweaty Lustfully Decide To Offend Almighty God 

By Telling The Euphemistic White Lie Of Convenience That 

Greases Satan's Putrid Palms! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Dare To Speak The Hard Truth At All Costs 

Because 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth 

And 

What Is Of Him Lasts Forever! 

The Truth Saves! 

Live In And For The Truth 

So That At The Appointed Time 

You Will Rise Up To Forever Live 

With Jesus Christ Our God And King! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: It's All In Your Name!

Your Name Identifies You

Speaks To Your Reputation

And 

Announces Your Character! 

Does Your Name ... Right Now

Announce To Friends, Family, Foes

And 

The Fraternity Of The Faithless Fiend That 

You Are A Committed Member Of The Household Of Faith 

Or

Does It Say That 

You Have Itching Ears 

And That 

You Are One Who Follows Every Wind Of Doctrine 

And 

Is An Explorer Ever Seeking After Something New,

Spectacular ... And Sense-Tingling!?! 

Beloved, 

Your Name Means Everything To The Lord Jesus 

As Shown In The Letter To The Church At Sardis In Revelation 3:4  

Where He Says That There Were A Few Names 

Who Had Not Defiled Their Garments! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Names ... As Christ's Followers 

Should Distinctly Set Us Apart 

From Those Amongst Whom We Dwell 

Or With Whom We Associate! 

There Is The Great Day Coming 

When We Shall See Our Lord As He Is 

Because 

We Shall Be Like Him! 

We Are Called To Be Perfect 

Even As Our Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 

We Are To Be Developing The Character Of Christ Now 

By Letting The Holy Spirit Lead, Teach, Feed

Correct, Direct, Protect

And 

Use Us In Almighty God's Service! 

Please Deny The Liar Who Offers License 

And

Accept The Lord Who Gives Everlasting Life! 

Live Now As Though You Are Going To Be Living 

In Heavenly Light Later! 

Please Polish Your Name Here 

So That You Will Receive The New Name 

On The Peaceful Shore! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Be Angry ... And Sin Not!

Imagine What Uncontrolled Anger Can Do! 

In A New Pregnancy

It Can Cause Spontaneous Expulsion Of The Fetus! 

The Anger Caused By Strife-Makers 

Can Cause The Offended Party To Strike A Blow That 

Can Maim Or Kill Another! 

The Anger That Wafts Off Those Who Would Make Men Slaves 

- To Their Various Lusts - 

When Their Plans Are Thwarted 

Can Lead To Murder! 

The Anger Of Those Who Would Force Others 

To Think, Believe

And 

Act As Their "Betters" Have Commanded 

Is 

Demonic In Its Rancor, Rage, And Range! 

Beloved, 

The Bible Tells Us To Be Angry ... And Sin Not 

Because 

We Can Get Angry ... And Sin 

Which Opens Us Up To All Kinds Of Problems 

Which We Would Do Well To Avoid! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Call King Saul A Fool 

Because 

He Somehow Believed He Could Control The Hand Of God! 

King Saul Wanted To Kill 

The Ordained, Appointed, And Anointed Future King, David

And 

When He Could Not

He Killed Eighty-Five Of The Eighty-Six Priests Of God At Nob! 

King Saul Added Sin Upon Sin 

By Hob-Nobbing With The Witch At Endor 

And 

At The End Of His Time On Earth

He Committed Self-Murder Aka Suicide! 

Let Us Be Wise To Recognize That

As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Christ

We Should Let The Lord Fight Our Battles 

Instead Of Going Into Murderous Rages! 

We Should Be Angry Enough To Not Indulge In Wrong-Doing 

And 

Should Instead Get Angry And Rage Against Sin And Sinning! 

Don't Be Hasty To Get Angry! 

Self-Control Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit: 

Exercise It 

Or 

Ask The Lord For His Indwelling Spirit 

To Help You To Walk Rightly, Wisely, In The Light Of Life! 

Peace! 

HOW DO YOU STAND: Standing On OR Standing Up On ... The Promises Of Almighty God!?!

What Is The Point Of Being Given A Promise 

And 

Not Being Bold Enough To Remind The Person Of Their Exact Words 

At The Time When The Receipt Of The Benefits Of Said Promise 

Will Immensely Profit You!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have Been Given An Open Invitation 

To Appear Boldly At The Throne Of Grace 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

Should We Not Appear Before The Lord's Magnificent Throne 

And 

Awe-Inspiring Glory 

With The Lord's "Yea!" And "Amen!" Promise For The Moment 

Securely Held And Ready To Be Offered Up To The Promise-Keeping God 

Whom We Say And Believe Is Our Everlasting Portion!?! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Given To Us For Our Blessing 

Are Only Of Benefit To Us As We Believe That 

The Giver Is Faithful And True! 

The Promises Given Will Profit Us 

When We Present Them For Settlement 

Like A Check Or A Bearer Bond! 

Be Warned, Though

Don't Ask For A Promise To Be Kept By The Lord Jesus 

When You Are Deliberately Living Contrary To The Will Of Almighty God! 

The Lord Jesus Will Never Fatten You For Satan To Feast Upon Because 

Our God, Holy

Is 

Neither Deceitful ... Nor A Liar! 

Choose To Believe The Lord's Word 

And 

Dare To Present It To Him! 

Bring Your Dirt, Your Trouble

Your Trial

And 

Your Test Or Torment! 

Let Your Request Be Known ... By Faith! 

Believe You Will Receive Your Request 

According To The Father's Will And Way 

And

Pray Without Ceasing! 

The Character Of Christ Is Our Guarantee: 

"Cash In" Your Promise Today! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Let No One Deceive You!

Beware Of The Cushy, Comfortable, Can't Be Refused Pleasure! 

Dear Ones, 

We All Know That 

No Human Being Wants To Live On An Ant's Nest 

Or Cuddle Up Next To A Snake Pit! 

We Also Know That Not One Of Us Would 

Wide-Eyed, Willingly, Wantonly Allow Ourselves 

To Fall Into An Obvious Trap! 

Isn't It Obvious, Then, That 

The Adversary Of Our Souls

The Arch-Deceiver, Satan The Forever Damned

Will Not Entice Us To Sin 

By Setting Up A Mall With Signage Which Says: 

"Good Sins Inside! 

75% Discount For Doubters! 

BOGO Free For Christ's Faithful!?!" 

Beloved, 

We Are Called To Live By The Faith Which Works By Love 

And 

Purifies The Soul! 

When We Live By Our Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day 

Which We Receive From Our Dear Savior

And 

By That Faith 

- Which Does Not Work By Lying Eyesight - 

Ask The Lord For Discernment

We Will Neither Fall For The Lies 

Nor The Sophistries Of The Devil! 

The Lord Jesus Has Not Left Us To Swing In The Wind 

But 

Has Provided Us With The Infallible Word Of Truth 

As Our Guide To Daily Living 

Which Makes Us Fully Aware Of The Devil's Devices! 

Jesus Christ Warned: 

"Let No One Deceive You!" 

That's A Command

The Word Of Our King, The Judge

So Let's Honor Him 

And 

Bless Ourselves! 

Open The Book! 

Believe The Word! 

Live By Faith! 

Trust The Lord! 

Resist The Devil Who Is Already Trapped! 

Endure All Things For Jesus Christ's Sake

And

Be Blessed And Forever Saved! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Understanding Is The Gift Of Almighty God!

 

Beloved, 

Do You Know That There Is No Man Happy 

Without The Gift Of Almighty God!?! 

Throughout The Scriptures Of Truth

The Refrain Rings 

"Find Wisdom, Get Understanding! 

"Get Wisdom, Get Understanding!" 

And

"Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!" 

Shouldn't We Buy The Free Clue 

And 

Do As Our Heavenly Father Asks!?! 

To Wax Ridiculous

This Is Not About Being Under A Stand 

Nor Standing Under Some Lying Tenet Of The Damned Devil! 

Dear Ones, 

In Our Text At Study

We Find The Request 

"Grant Me Understanding According To Thy Word!" 

Because 

Worldly Understanding 

Is 

A Corrupted, Corrupting, Force And Influence 

Which Is Only Ever Counteracted 

By The Living, Holy, Eternal Word Of 

The All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present God Of Grace 

Who Inhabits Glory 

And

Is Inviting Us-Willing To Join Him There At The Time Appointed! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Remove Our Brains From Park 

By Allowing Wisdom

- The Gift Of God - 

To Engage Our Understanding 

So That We Are Not Deceived 

By Those Who Are The Adversaries Of Our Purchased Souls! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Be Callous-Minded, Careless, Nor Conceited! 

Please Be A Humble Child Of The Father 

And 

Accept That His Word

His Will

His Ways

And 

His Wisdom 

Are Good And Perfect Gifts That 

Elevate Our Understanding 

Which Is A Cure That Strengthens Our Core For Christ! 

Peace!

Desire For The Delights Of The Divine!

 

The Mind Of Truth 

Is 

Jesus Christ The Lord Our God

Who Became Flesh 

And 

Dwelt Among Us! 

The Mine Of Truth 

Is 

The Living, Holy Word Of God 

Where No One Needs A Government License To Set Up Shop

Nor Expensive Equipment

Nor Human Capital Save The Willing Self 

To Extract Its Infinite Riches! 

Beloved, 

We Are The Called And Empowered Miners Of The Truth! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Holy God 

And As Such 

We Are Each Endowed With A Mind That Is Useful 

And 

Is A Terrible Thing To Waste! 

Dear Ones, 

As Seekers After The Truth

We Are Instructed To Search The Word Of God 

As If We Are Seeking After Hidden Treasure: 

We Are! 

We Must Exercise Our Free-Will 

And 

Our Freedom To Choose

And

Our Desire For The Delights Of The Divine 

To Pray ... In Faith 

And

Ask Our God And Our King To Help Us 

- By His Very Own Sweet Spirit Of Truth 

Who Will Lead Us Into All Truth - 

To Guide Our Minds In The Way That Matters 

So That Our Treasure-Hunt Will Always Yield A Grain Or A Gram 

Because 

We Are In The Vein That Leads To The Mother-Lode 

Which Is The Father's House

The Holy City

The Store-House Of The Everlasting Goodness Of The Eternal God! 

The Word Of God 

Is 

Necessary Food 

So Get Out Your Fork And Your Spoon 

And 

Proceed To Be Fed And Filled 

Knowing That You Will Always Have Room For More! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: If Not You, Who!?!

 

As Ambassadors For Christ

We Have A Message To Tell To The Nations! 

When Are We Going To Tell It!?! 

If Not Now, When!?! 

Who Is Going To Tell It!?! 

If Not You, Who

And

If Not Here, Where!?! 

Simple Questions! 

How Will You Answer!?! 

Think About It ...

Before You Can Deliver The Message

You Should Personally Know The Sender! 

Before You Can Be An Effective And Efficient Messenger

You Have To Grow In Grace And Faith! 

Before You Can Go On Your Journey

You Must Show And Be Sure That 

The Message That You Are Delivering 

Is 

Undiluted, Uncolored, And Unspun! 

Dear Ones, 

There Are Many Who Say That 

They Are Stewards, Servants, For The Sender

- Our Savior -

But 

In The Day Of Accounts 

Their Service Will Be Found To Have Been Corrupted 

And 

Their Reward Will Not Be The Choice One Desired! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Be A Deceitful Bow! 

Be True And Forth-Right! 

Be Good Stewards

Be Faithful Servants

And 

Be Honest Students Of The Good Book 

Giving The Straight Testimony 

So That Your Work Reaps A Harvest For Our Lord The King

And 

You Are Blessed And Eternally Saved! 

Let's Go Out

Lead Out

And 

Speak Out With Love For Our Lord And Our God! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH: Which God Is Your Benefactor!?!

No Matter What Satan Is   Promising You To Trust Him 

And 

Doubt Almighty God

Stop Working For That Devil For Feed, Free, Or Fee 

Because 

It Will Not Profit, Now Or Ever! 

At Any Given Moment

On Any Given Day

Each And Every One Of Us Supposedly ... Allegedly

Receives A Gift From God! 

The Problem 

Is 

To Know Which God Is Your Benefactor! 

Beloved, 

The Living Word Tells Us That 

Every Good And Perfect Gift 

Comes From The Father Of Lights 

Whose Gifts Lead  The Believing, Enduring, Saints 

To Everlasting Life! 

The False God, Satan

The Lord Of Dung

The Father Of Lies

Gives "Gifts"  Sure To Lead To Damnation

To Eternal Separation From The God Of Glory

The King Of Love

The Lord Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

We Live In The Days Of Deceit, Deviltry, Delusion

And 

Deliberate Destruction

And 

Anyone Who Chooses To Accept The Liar's Time-Bound "Gifts" 

Which Cannot Cross The Separating Line To Enter Eternity 

Is 

Doing Fair-Promise Work For The  Damned Snake 

Who Is Our Adversary And Accuser

And 

Whose Crushed Head And Vile Presence 

Will Soon Be Eternally Obliterated! 

Let's Not Waste Our Time With What-Ifs And Maybes: 

They Won't Bear Peaceable Fruit! 

Let's Get On The Son's Side Of Life 

Where Faith, Endurance, And Obedience Repose

And

Wing Our Way Through Grace And Mercy To Glory 

To Enter The Holy City ... By Right ... At The Appointed Time!  

Desire The Deliverer, Jesus Christ The Lord

And 

The Delights Of Heavenly Love! 

Hold The Living God In Awe! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us!

Beloved, 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

The God Whom We Serve 

Is 

The Holy God Who Cannot Lie 

Or Stretch Truth 

Or Make Truth Turn Corners 

Because 

Such Dank Doings Are Not A Part Of His Character! 

He Is The God Of Grace! 

I Quite Like The Expression Which Accrues To Our Eternal Benefit: 

We Receive God's Riches At Christ's Expense! 

We Are Blessed! 

Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Fairy Tale Says: 

New Lamps For Old! 

Don't Believe The Hype: 

Stick With The Historical Faith Tried, True

Tested, Approved, And Proven! 

The Lamp That The Adversary Wants Us To Exchange 

Is 

The Lamp Of The Eternal Word Of Truth Of Almighty God 

Which Gives Us Living Light To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness! 

The Way Of Right Living Requires Unceasing Prayer: 

It Is Armor! 

The Prayer Of Faith 

In The God Who Says To Pray With Trust, Faith

Is 

Comfort 

Because 

It Is To The Living God 

Who Cares For You, Personally ...  Intimately ... Sacrificially! 

We Are To Seek Almighty God To Find Him! 

We Are To Let Our Requests Be Made Known 

To Him Who Can Fulfill Them! 

We Are To Knock At The Throne Of Grace 

With Intention And Endurance! 

If Your Request Is For Your Good 

And 

For Almighty God's Glory: 

Palms Up! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Will Blesses! 

Almighty God's Grace Cures 

And

Our Enduring Faith In Our Dear Savior Jesus 

Opens Wide Heaven's Stores! 

Vigorously Use Your Invitation 

And 

Access Received Through Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Happy New Year 2023 ... In The Lord Jesus Christ's Holy Care!

Have You Ever Considered Why The Lord Stipulated 

The Body And The Body Parts  Mentioned In Deuteronomy 19:21 

And 

What It Means To Us Today!?! 

Life ... For Life! 

Eye ... For Eye! 

Tooth ... For Tooth! 

Hand... For Hand! 

Foot ... For Foot! 

Beloved, 

Let's See!

No Life ... You're Dead 

And 

Dead Men Have No Hope! 

If You Take Someone's Life

You Rob That Dear Someone Of Hope

Of A Future Better State! 

Let's Not Talk About Fate! 

That Person Was A Fatality! 

You Take One Eye And You Unbalance A Person: 

Two Eyes Make Your Circle Of Sight Complete! 

Having Only One Eye Gives A Person A Blind Spot 

And 

They Are Therefore Hindered In Their Walk! 

If You Take A Man's Front Tooth Without Permission ... By Force

You Put A Gap In His Smile

A Lisp In His Speech

And 

A Pain In His Mouth

And 

You Hinder Him In His Eats

And 

You Make Him Self-Conscious, A Spectacle

And 

In The Prize For Appearance

You've Got Him Well And Truly Beat! 

You Take A Man's Hand: 

How Much Work Can He Do!?! 

You Take A Man's Leg: 

In A Battle For Life, What Help Can He Give!?! 

Dear Ones, 

That Is The Minute! 

Now Let's See The Picture Grand!

A Man With These Physical Defects Would Not Be Able 

Before The Lord In Service In The Sanctuary To Stand! 

Remember!

Without Spot! 

Without Blemish! 

On The Other Side

It Is Better To Be Blind And Saved Into The Living Kingdom! 

Your Eye Guides You In Your Direction 

So If You Have A Wayward Eye

It Is Better To Do Away With It 

And 

Be Saved And Blessed

Than To Be Wayward 

And 

Be Eternally Lost! 

It Is Also Better To Lack A Hand Or Foot 

And 

Be Saved Into The Living Kingdom! 

Brethren Beloved,

Your Hand Touches The Thing That Tempts 

Or 

Throws Away All That Would The Body Temple Defile! 

Your Feet Take You ... Away To Sin And Away From Good 

Or

To The Kingdom Of The Blessed 

As You Choose To Do The Good And Right! 

We Each Have Eyes, Ears

A Nose, A Mouth, A Heart

Hands And Feet

And 

A Brain To Make It All Go

So Please Listen To Me I Beg, Plead, And Beseech

And 

Make Your Calling And Election Sure:

Unsanctified Bodies 

Shall Not To Holy Heaven Go! 

Walk Holy, Wise, And Undefiled! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Will Always Be Change!

Old Year, New Year, We Do It Time And Again! 

The One Thing That Is Constant Is That 

There Will Always Be Change! 

There Is No Recycle, Rinse, And Reuse 

Because 

The Changing Scenes Of Life In Time Are Inevitable

And That, Beloved

Is The Great Good News! 

Brethren Beloved, 

The Lord Of Life Is Soon Coming 

And 

Of This We Are Assured! 

We Don't Know The Day Or The Hour 

So Into A False Sense Of Security 

Please Do Not Be Foolishly Lured! 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Master

And 

A Work To Do On Our Selves

So Let Us Be About Our Business 

And 

Not Be Drooling About The Merchants' Store Shelves! 

Open The Good Book 

And 

Continue To Work On Character-Building 

And 

Give The Adversary No Chance Upon Our Names 

In Satanic Revelry To Go A-Prancing! 

The Savior Is Waiting For Us 

To Moment By Moment Answer His Salvation Call 

So That We May Wash Away Forever 

The Stench And Stain Of Adam's Fall! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Loved With An Everlasting Love 

So Let Us Align Our Future With The Lord Of Love 

So That Our Living Estate Will Be 

Our Hand In The Hand Of Him Who Alone Can Take Us 

To The Glorious Courts In Heaven Above! 

Be Faithful! 

Be Obedient! 

Be Enduring! 

Be Blessed

And 

Be At Peace 

In, For, And With Almighty God's Unfailing Love!
